There have been some interesting discussions and I do not think that anyone questions the use of drugs for serious illness.
Maybe you would have had clear arteries anyway?
But these discussions have brought up a question in my mind! Like it or not the drug companies are Multi Billion dollar enterprises who are mainly there to sell drugs.
Drug companies would not want a cure for Cancer HIV etc if such cures dried up their own market of long term drug use.
How much that influences "cures" ?
How much is spent creating new drugs rather than finding cures for some of the life crippling disease in our society?
